Binary rejected because the application infringes another party's rights

Question

I just got my app rejected due to violation of rule 8.5. This is the whole message I got in Resolution Center:

Reasons

8.5: Use of protected 3rd party material (trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, otherwise proprietary content) requires a documented rights check which must be provided upon request

8.5

We have determined that we cannot post your application because it appears to infringe on rights owned by Ravensburger Digital GmbH ("Ravensburger"). Ravensburger objects to applications available in Germany that use the mark Memory in their title and within the application.

Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, you represent and warrant that your application does not infringe the rights of another party, and that you are responsible for any liability to Apple because of a claim that your application infringes another party's rights. Moreover, we may reject or remove your application for any reason, at our sole discretion.

Accordingly, please provide documentary evidence that you have the rights to use this content to ensure compliance with the iOS Developer Program License Agreement. Once Legal has reviewed your documentation and confirms its validity, we will proceed with your app review.

Can I resolve the problem by removing Germany from App Store territories without submitting new binary?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Well, from the information you provided, I assume you are creating a game include the word "memory" in the title. It is banned by apple according to this website.

This trademark is claimed in the following countries according to the website:

Armenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Equador, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, India, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, and Venezuela.

You need to remove it from the countries' App Store listed above.
